This whole revival of the waltz thing fascinates me. My mid-20s cousins told me they’re going to check out a sold-out classical concert at the Telstra Dome, so I got intrigued, and found out there’s this whole worldwide phenomenon going on that I’ve not noticed. This dude’s selling out stadiums all over the world, to crowds that are mostly 50 plus, and regenerated interested in classical music in general. He’s got DVDs out, over 20 cds, one of which went over 8 times Platinum.

BUT, and this is the part that cracked me up..... He performed without his orchestra for the first time in Australia in September last year, and where did we put him? Eastland Shopping Centre in Ringwood....Sounds about right to me.... Tuscany, Vienna, Ringwood

Granted it’s different, and he is doing a massive concert later this year, but still, the thought is funny to me

HAHAHA

Ok andre rieu is good but there are better out there, he is the ONELOVE of orchestral music, plays cheese with big lights. If you really know your orchestral stuff you see past all the fancy lights.

we go through these periods where certain ‘other genres’ of music become popular, before this we had the whole il divo thing, then the big band revival, now its Andre Rieu

Im not bagging the guy, he is very good, its more entertainment than music
